What are the pros and cons of requiring that the amount of trans fat that food items contain be indicated on the food labels?
Pro: Increases consumer awareness and ability to make better food choices. Many food manufacturers have changed food preparation and processing methods in order to decrease or eliminate trans fatty acids from many foods. Con: Food manufacturers are still allowed to label foods as "trans fat-free" if a serving has <0.5 g trans fatty acids, and list "0 g trans fat" on its label and list "shortening" or "partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil" on the Nutrition Facts label. This has caused enough concern that some cities have created trans fat-free zones.
